My engine is seperated into its major components. (Motor (2056 T4), Mallory Unilite, blue coil, carbs, linkage, low pressure fuel pump, engine tin, alternator). The engine is built. But the mallory is off it, the tin is off, the carbs are off, etc.
I want to put it together, and test run it on Oct 20th before I install it into the car. I know that I am going to need a battery and wire to run the starter, fuel pump, and plugs. I know I need new gaskets when I attach the carbs to the motor. Obviously, I am going to need gas, and new oil. What else do I need? Help me make a checklist. My goal is to put the major components together, pack it in my subaru, and fire it off at the Sterling meet later this month (then put the now-together motor back in my subaru, take it home, and get it in the 914). This is a high quality wire plan for my test harness. Do I need to add anything more? Zach |

No need for a relay to start the engine. See my simple arrangement. I put 2 switches together with tape. One was mini push button and mini single pole single throw switch.
Currents from starter coil and the plug coil are not astronomical as to fry the switches. The double combo switches make it easy to turn engine on and off. Also used a battery charger to keep the battery charged during operation. Connected the switches to the coil with wire like lamp cord wire. Battery was still in the red car and I used the cars fuel pump for fuel supply. I connected the fuel pump to the toggle switch to turn it on and off with the engine. Spoke Attached image(s) |
